Incredible JD Berry Apollo
« on: July 09, 2011, 09:40:00 PM »
After a 6-1/2 month wait my new JD Berry Apollo forward handled longbow finally arrived. 62" and 48#@28. Yew core and trapezoid yew limbs. The bow was built from 72 individual pieces of exotic wood. Gorgeous arrow inlays on the limbs. Cocobola and brazilian walnut riser with double arcs and elk antler inlay. Elk antler overlay on the riser back and elk antler and bloodwood on the riser belly. Elk antler tip overlays on the trademark hook nocks. This bow is simply stunning. Draws smooth as butter and whisper quiet even without silencers. I was shocked at how fast it is. My last JD Berry Taipan was 52# and this one seems faster than that. Even the script work is unbelievable.

James is a true artist and that is one beautiful bow. I own one of the Hill style bows that he used to make and could not be more pleased.
